Why We Do Fitness

History

The Jump Start Health and Fitness Center was started in 1997 at Associated Therapeutics, Inc. Jump Start was originally planned to be a transitional fitness program for patients graduating from therapy and needing to progress beyond rehab, into fitness and wellness. The program grew dramatically and over the past 16 years and now allows members to participate in a variety of aquatic and land classes or to take part in traditional fitness programs using strength and cardiovascular equipment. The staff includes an exercise physiologist, certified personal trainers, certified senior fitness trainer, certified clinical exercise specialist, aquatic and land group fitness instructors with a variety of specialties and a massage therapist. We specialize in developing a fitness program for people with a variety of health issues in a non-intimidating, non-judgmental environment. If you have not found a fitness center or fitness program that works for you, please call us for information on our programs and learn how we can help you reach your fitness goals.

Mission

Changing lives in our community by creating a culture of healthy lifestyles through a wholesome approach to fitness.

Vision

We will be a place for the community to meet their individual health goals in a family-friendly environment.

We commit to be innovative and passionate about our approach to the way you engage in fitness activities. Lastly, we promise to create a culture that strengthens the body, sharpens the mind, nurtures the heart, and nourishes the spirit.

Values

  • Community- We are not meant to live alone. We encourage everyone to connect to each other and support one another. We hope to help people do that.
  • Holistic Health- We believe that the total person is composed of mind, body, and spirit. If you invest into all of those then you can tap into your God-given potential.
  • Lifestyle- We understand that exercise doesn't define us. We promote the idea to make lifestyle changes as opposed to trendy, temporal changes.
  • Impact - We know a healthy lifestyle shouldn't end when our workouts do. We challenge everyone to be an example to the rest of the community and change as many lives as possible.
